Join me and my co-host, Vince Gethings, as we chat with Alex Shandrovsky about deferring capital gains taxes with 1031 Exchanges. Alex is a Business Development Representative of the Zero Energy Solutions. Prior to that, he was the CEO and founder of Lchaim Foods, and a qualified intermediary (QI) for Madison 1031. He is very knowledgeable in a lot of different industries. In this episode, Alex generously shares his time in educating the listeners about 1031 Exchange, DST, capital gains, and more!What is a 1031 Exchange?The 1031 Exchange is named for Section 1031 of the U.S. International Revenue Service’s tax code. This section states that if an investor has made a profit from a real estate investment, the capital gains tax can be deferred if they purchase another property of the same kind with an equal or greater value at a limited time. The International Revenue Service limits the time to 45 days after selling the primary property. Within 45 days, you must already have a replacement property. If you fail to close on a property at the given time limit, you will have to pay capital gains tax. A qualified Intermediary plays an important part in this exchange because this person will be responsible for holding the 1031 Exchange funds. If you want to defer paying capital gains taxes and leverage your rental properties, 1031 Exchange would be a great strategy to achieve these. This may sound easy for other people, but it can cause you more money when it is not done correctly.Delaware Statutory Trust“As a backup, if your 1031 Exchange fails, maybe you couldn’t name a property in 45 days or what reason fails; you can put it in a DST.” - Alex Shandrovsky.A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a legal entity created under the Delaware law, mostly used in real estate investments, allowing multiple investors to work together in pooling money for investment purposes. DST is a great vehicle, which can potentially provide you a stream of income. Some investors do not want to be a part of a DST because of the restrictions and limited control they may have depending on their agreement with respect to the other trustees. This can typically be up to 499 investors, with a minimum of $25,000 investment requirement.Outline of the episode:• [• [• [• [• [• [• [• [• [• [• [• [• [• [• [• [• [
